Wanted Equal Terms.
Ills related of Jr. (lutlitle that one
day, wlilte tiinkilifi iiaroelilid visits, lie
came to tlie door of un Irish papist, who
wits determined tlmt the doctor should
not enter his house. " A'ou can't come
In here," he snld. " ""You're" not tiecdod
nor wanted."
" My friend," said the doidor, " 1 tun
only visiting round my parish to le
coiiieite(iiiilnted with my people, nnd
have called on you only a o parish
loner." "lt(lint nmtter," snld 1'itddy ; "yer
shan't come lu here." And with that,
lifting the poker, he snld, " If you come
In here I'll knock you down."
Most t'neii would have retired, or tried
to reason. The doctor did neither; hut
drawing himself up to his full height,
nnd looking Ihe Irishman fair In the
face, he said, " Come now; that's too
Imd. Would you strike a man unarmed V
llinul me the tongs, and then we shall
he on cijual terms.''
l'lie mint looked nt Mm for a while in
great amazement, and then said, " Oeh,
sure yer a qitnre man for a minister.
Come inside." And feeling rather
ashamed of his conduct, he laid down
the poker.
The doctor entered, a nd talked, (is he
could so well do, in a way both so enter- '
tainlng and so Instructive ns to win the
admiration of the mini ; so that, when
he arose to go, Paddy shook his hand
warmly, and snld, lie sure, Bir, don't
pass my door w ithout giving me a call."
Wanted a littlo Joke.
A chap who enjoyed a good joke ex
pected he would have one, (Jetting on
a street car, he sat down besides n big-
listed man and remarked:
lI don't suppose you object to riding
beside a small-pox puticnt, do you VI -
'Not In the leastreplied the big man,
'but as some of the other passengers may
I shall have you out 1'
TliereujKin he took the Jokei by the
collar and leg, carried him to the plat

snow drift.

Minister (porteiitlously): "Jamcv
this is a very dreadful tiling ! You have
heard there Is a bank tiote missing from
the box V
James (the sexton, who is strongly
suspected) '"Deed, sir, so they were
telling me."
Minister (solemnly): "James, you atifl
I alone had access to that box."
James: "It's just as ye say, sir; It
must lie between us twa. An' the best
way '11 be, you to puy the one half, an'
I'll pay tlie tither, an' say na' mair
about it."
A woman asked a colored patriarch
if flie sight of a mince pie didn't inuke
his mouth water. He replied ;. "Jar
wu a time wiien it did. In doze good
old days oh long ago, 'when dey built
minoe pies otit'n meat, apples, brandy
un' spices, dar wit:s a successive hank

JT An organ was sometime ago intro
duced in a parish church in the north
of Bcotlund, and some of the members
took offence and left. One of thene soon
after met another member, and inquired
"boo tlie organ was got tin' on?" ''O,
line," was tlie answer. "Jist blawin'
awa' tlie chufT an' kcepiu' the corn."

cogitation, handed the teacher this sen

book is worn out.' He fainted.
"Why is it that everylsxly in Tex
as thinks it necessary to carry one or
two revolvers?" "Well, stranger.''
said the Texan, "you mought truvtl
